I wonder if you use the same theory when handling money... you'll go into a lot of debt that way.
I genuinely do not believe the 360 will reach 70 million. Will it come close? Absolutely. Within 2 million? I think so. But I don't think it's going to cross that number, and I'm not going to "bump up" my numbers just to say that it will.
@Slimebeast: I counted 2005 as a full year. I should not have because the 360 came out in November. I stand corrected.
And yes, I do. Price cuts aren't coming in this gen like they did in previous gens but I believe that there is a reason for that. Buyers of HD consoles in this generation are buying their console of choice (or consoles) because they want the console itself. They may wait for a price cut, which is why all consoles experience a spike in sales once a price cut comes along, but I do not believe that a price cut alone is going to attract NEW buyers to an HD console if they didn't want it to begin with. The whole "hardcore" market has upgraded by now to this generation, and just one glance at the Wii's sales in comparison to the HD consoles shows that casual console buyers with minimal gaming experience do not yet care about whether or not their games are in HD. The types of buyers that would buy a console just because it's cheaper are already in the Wii camp and are there to stay. A price cut is not going to be enough to push the 360 sales up enough to counter the natural decrease over time of sales due to antiquation.
